Bee & Wasp Control in Sonoma County

FAQs About Bee & Wasp Control

What Should I Do Right Now If I Find A Bee Or Wasp Nest?

The safest first step is to keep your distance and avoid disturbing the nest. Move children and pets away from the area, close nearby windows or doors, and resist the urge to spray or knock the nest down. Sudden noise, vibration, or direct contact can cause bees or wasps to defend their nest, which increases the chance of stings. If anyone is stung and shows signs of a serious reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face or throat, seek medical care immediately. Once everyone is safe, contact our team so we can evaluate the situation and provide a free estimate for professional service.

How Do You Keep My Family And Pets Safe During Treatment?

We plan bee and wasp work with safety as a priority from start to finish. Before treatment begins, our technician explains which areas need to be kept clear and for how long. We may ask you to bring pets indoors, keep children away from specific zones, or temporarily avoid certain entrances. Because we follow IPM principles, we focus treatments on the hive or nest instead of broad spraying in areas where people spend time. When eco-friendly product options are appropriate, we discuss those with you as well. After the work is complete, we provide simple instructions about when it is safe to re-enter treated areas and what signs of remaining activity are normal in the short term.

Can Your Team Handle Emergency Bee Or Wasp Problems?

We do offer emergency services for situations where stinging insects create an immediate concern, such as nests close to main doors, play spaces, or active customer areas. When you call, let us know if someone at the property has a known allergy or if the nest is in a place that people must pass frequently. This information helps us evaluate urgency and scheduling options. While availability can vary by day and season, our goal is to provide prompt, reliable attention when nests are putting people at higher risk. During your call, we also share safe steps you can take while you wait for a visit.

Will The Bees Or Wasps Come Back After You Treat The Nest?

When we treat an active hive or nest, the goal is to stop that specific colony from using the site. After treatment, you may still see a few insects returning for a short time as they search for the old nest, but activity typically drops as they fail to reestablish it. Over the longer term, new bees or wasps can sometimes choose similar locations if conditions are favorable. That is why our technicians often recommend follow-up steps such as sealing entry points or adjusting outdoor conditions that attract nesting. These IPM-based suggestions help lower the chances of new colonies using the same areas again, although no approach can control all future insect behavior.

Do You Offer Eco-Friendly Options For Bee And Wasp Treatments?

Yes, our company offers eco-friendly service options and uses an IPM approach that emphasizes targeted treatments and long-term prevention. When conditions allow, we select products and methods designed to minimize impact on non-target areas, such as gardens, landscaping, and outdoor living spaces. Our technicians consider the type of insect, the location of the nest, and how people use the surrounding area when choosing how to proceed. During our visit, we can discuss the options available for your specific situation so you understand how treatment methods balance effectiveness with environmental considerations.
